I’m putting it out there: F.A. Cup 5th round weekend is the worst weekend on the football calendar (international breaks aside of course). In the 3rd and 4th rounds there are plenty of matches on offer, whereas in the later rounds not only is the prize in sight, but you

The Big 6 in the Premier League spent £276 MILLION during the January transfer window – and that’s not including the Sanchez/Mkhitaryan swap. An astronomical number, but one that actually isn’t very surprising at all. Whether it’s too ensure a club can challenge on all fronts (Manchester City) or to

When Harry Kane equalised for Tottenham in the 18th minute against Southampton two weeks ago, it seemed inevitable that he would go on to bag another and claim his 100th English Premier League goal; joining a rarefied list of footballing greats headed by Alan Shearer and including the likes of

For those of you who haven’t read these articles before, it is basically my take on how the Premier League should look, when you factor in each team’s varying strength of schedule. More information on the nuances of this calculation can be found here, whilst a look back at the

Tottenham are in the middle of a slump. They’ve won just 1 of their last 6, and even that was only a 1-0 victory over then-bottom-of-the-table Crystal Palace. They’ve fallen to 6th in the table, behind fierce rivals Arsenal (whom they were thoroughly dominated by during this poor run), and

Straight into it this week. For those of you who haven’t read these articles before, it is basically my take on how the Premier League should look, when you factor in each team’s varying strength of schedule. More information on the nuances of this can be found here, whilst a
